You may be foolish enough to fail to write your name on an application email, but i doubt EY are foolish enough to accept someone without knowing their name. So i'm sure they got it.
ATCNoob - I have just read back over the thread and noticed the 350/600 remark - I didn't see this before and yes, you're right, it's a pretty low figure - was this the final figure or an estimate? I'm still not complaining - less chance of someone having a higher score than me.
Just FYI, I am 20. 21 in April to be precise!
With regards to the promotion on merit and not staff number, I was generally talking about both halves of the on-board crew - cabin and flight. You and I both know that there are many FOs out there who really don't have what it takes to captain and aircraft. On these occasions their staff number wont get them a command course!
No offence taken Evileyes. I've only worked for 2 airlines since I joined the industry at a very naieve 17 years of age. Both airlines are major players in the UK/European market.

It was the figure given to us by the assessors. As we were the last session in London they must have had a pretty accurate figure to go by.
With regards to Etihad. They say they are looking for future Captains in the selection stages not just FOs.

When someone from London gets an email with the dates of the second round in April, could they please post them here? I'm going to the assessments in FRA but would need to provisionally book the dates in April off work in case I got through. Many thanks.

EYZ:
And if you're unable to make those dates, would Etihad be happy if you asked them to defer your application to the intake in September?
It's not so bad for the people in LHR, but for the people going to FRA it's only 3 weeks between the initial assessment and the next round in Abu Dhabi. It could potentially leave many people who have full-time employment in a bad position (in my workplace we're required to give 4 weeks notice for any time off - no exceptions to the rule).
No, take it as gosple, thats whats they said 5 days over those dates!

- You signed your name in the email or
- Your email had your name in it, so they could search.

If I do get to fly for Etihad, it's gonna be laughs.

gratitude
The only thing I can write down for the ''speakers'' of Etihad Airways is,
WELL DONE 
well done (and one more time)
WELL DONE
Even words can't express
How I felt after taking the assessment
I really enjoyed it and hereby I want to express gratitude for this amazing opportunity.

In the old days BA used to put some of its fresh cadets straight onto the Tristar L1011 o n the RHS.
Emirates also trains cadets and where do you think they put them
Good luck to all of you.
This is an increasingly rare opportunity. Grab it with both hands and dont let go
no airline will ever put low hours cadets onto a wide body.

I would crack up when Matt would call the Jamaican Captain (does anyone remember his name btw? ) "Captain Mustard" cos of his shirt.
Ya they were all a good laugh, to be honest it wasn't what I was expecting. Very refreshing and makes me want it even more!
